Experience your fishing charter out of a custom built 24' center console based off of the classic Seacraft design. It is equipt with a Yamaha outboard and the latest SIMRAD electronics. This vessel drafts 16 inches of water and has a variable step deadrise for a comfortable ride to the fishing grounds. A 35 gallon baitwell houses enough live bait for a full day or action packed fishing.
I choose to use Dogfish Tackle custom made fishing rods for their durability and local hand-made quality. All rods are outfitted with Shimano spinning fishing reels which can be reversed for right hand retrive.

I'm Passionate about teaching my clients what I have learned fishing the waters of the gulf coast of Florida. From the inshore Tarpon migration to nearshore reef fishing there is always a gamefish worth targeting no matter the season.
